THE GERMAN FLEET
'AN EXTRAVAGANT EULOGY. By Telegraph—Press Assooiation—Copyright ("Times" and Sydney "Sun" Services.) London, December 10. The representative of a German jour« nal has been visiting the German fleet* He describes it as anxiously guarding the North Sea and the Baltic—"a, pieca of armour covering a vulnerable spot. If we had been without its aid England might have pressed through the "Dardanelles and terrorised the whole of the Balkans into joining the Allies'. It has forced England to pay regard to America, and without it England's chalice of forcing peace upon us would, have been ten times greater than it is today. It was not' Germany's place to provoke a decisive battle at sea; that would be heroic, but not war."
